Pissing Away Peace?

American officials insist US politics are not the obstacle in setting up peace talks with the Taliban, claiming the 'fraught dynamics of the tenuous Afghan coalition of forces that keeps Karzai in power' are to blame. The Obama administration's delay in releasing prisoners from Guantanamo, and the video of US troops defiling dead Afghans that emerged last week probably don't help.

Many thanks sir! It is Afghanistan, OK let me upload it again, I thought not to put the real flag as there is PISS thing, and US army did it to Afghan people's dead body, so i though everyone would recognize it though Taliban leaders said that it will not hamper their upcoming TALK with US. (should i really replace it, in fact it was a very quick drawing too) Thanks again.

Excellent cartoon, Mehedi! One question: is the figure on the right supposed to represent Afghanistan, or Iran? Both seem applicable, although Iran seems more likely. Maybe I'm the only one who had this question reading the cartoon, but if I'm not, you might consider filling in the flags at the bottom of the cartoon to make it clear. But again, it's an excellent cartoon!
